There are as many reasons for running as there are days in the year, years in my life. But mostly I run because I am an animal and a child, an artist and a saint. So, too, are you. Find your own play, your own self-renewing compulsion, and you will become the person you are meant to be.

Life is like music; it must be composed by ear, feeling, and instinct, not by rule.

Day 13; Me, My Stairs and I.Pretty interesting day.Finally got the opportunity to run in a real snow storm.Ran for 50 minutes in 1 ft. of soft powder snow on a dirt trial in the woods.It was very cool.Then off to work and scaled the stairs to the office; still boycotting the elevator.

I was thinking, while on the stairs of course, what a different world we live in.Just think about it; what was important to you 24 months ago?And, what of that group is important today?The entire mind set of this country has been reset.Wow, I was thinking:

1. 1) Materials possessions are of very little, if any importance anymore

2. 2) True friends emerge in tough times; the fakers are exposed

3. 3) The sun really does shine again no matter how bad things are or how dark it is, even on Friday the 13th; the next day brings a completely new opportunity and challenge.

Basically, be thankful; think positive; remove negative influences (it’s so easy to be negative but it can silently kill your spirit/drive).
